After a Patriot Signature 1 GB SODIMM PSD1G33316S failed to boot my NV+, I went with the Corsair. It works fine - no problems.

3 Corsair 1 GB modules were tried in one NV and two NV+. One module immediately failed in both the NV and in the NV+ while it worked in a 1.3 GHz Powerbook, so the memory itself was not faulty. The other two modules worked in the NV and in one NV+. The other NV+ was only satisfied with Kingston 1024 MB [2.5-3-3-7] memory, also from the hardware compatibility list.

I just tried a Corsair VS1GSDS33 in my NV+. Two passes of memory test, but no boot.
Original 256 MB is back in and running fine. Hopefully I can try another manufacturer.

How long should the NV+ take to boot? We could sure use a sticky with approximate wait times.
We have the information, just not in readily addressable format. I realize that different drive sizes and speed will change that end of things so specific drives will have to be listed, but a RAM change out should be fairly consistent after a couple of passed RAM tests.

Update:
Tried Patriot PSD1G33316S but the description at Fry's said "Hybrid" would not pass ram test
Tried Kingston, would not pass ram test
Another stick of Corsair - passed test like first one but I did NOT shut off the NV+. Instead I hit the power button quickly and it went into a 10 minute successful boot. 3 more power off boots went fine, down to about 5 mins to boot and it is more responsive.

My two cents - keep trying different Corsair sticks.

I just finished memory tests on a brand new VS1GSDS400. No joy.
Tests passed but not boot.

Just wanted to report that I successfully upgraded my NV+ to 1GB RAM with a Corsair VS1GSDS333 stick.

Two memory tests passed and it boots fine.

I was surprised to find that the preinstalled RAM was DDR 400. I was considering exchanging the DDR 333 memory that I bought for a DDR 400 stick. I'm glad I found this thread.

Sorry to hear about your trouble with DDR 400 memory erupter, but you saved me some hassle. Thanks for that!
